My brother in law has been deployed since late June and he finally came home a few weeks ago. My sister couldn’t have been happier and in standard fashion for our family, had been planning the recipes and food for his homecoming for quite some time. It is all.about.the.food. I’m kidding. kind of.

When we were talking about the recipes she was planning to make, she mentioned that she was sure Patrick would love some of my homemade pumpkin muffins since he hasn’t had anything pumpkin this fall. Can you even imagine?! I know what you’re thinking but I swear that I have not started turning yellowy orange from all of the pumpkin, butternut squash, and sweet potatoes I have been eating. I love this season more than anything and I am addicted to the foods that come with it. I had actually been planning a short break from the pumpkin recipes but I found it difficult to say no to my sister’s request and these delicious pumpkin muffins.
